"The First World War was a unique experience for the United Kingdom: the only time Britain fielded a mass army that opposed
the main enemy in the primary theatre of war. One consequence of this 'continental commitment' was that Britain suffered many
more casualties in 1914-18 than in the Second World War, a factor that has coloured post-1945 attitudes to 'the Great War'.
Yet, as Gordon Corrigan reveals, the First World War was neither unnecessary nor badly conducted - two claims made with such
frequency in the 1960s that they became the new orthodoxy. The British Army did make mistakes during the First World War,
but most were honest errors made by men as well trained and as well prepared as they could be, given the unprecedented expansion
of the pre-1914 army into a force of over three million men and women."--Jacket

"The Duke of Wellington, the most successful of British commanders, set a standard by which all subsequent British generals
have been measured. His defeat of Napoleon at Waterloo in 1815 crowned a reputation first won in India at Assaye and then
confirmed during the Peninsular War, where he followed up his defence of Portugal by expelling the French from Spain. Gordon
Corrigan, himself an ex-soldier, examines his claims to greatness. Wellington was in many ways the first modern general, combining
a mastery of logistics with an ability to communicate and inspire. He had to contend not only with enemy armies but also with
his political masters and an often sceptical public at home."--BOOK JACKET

Fought on Sunday 18th June 1815 by some 220,000 men over rain-sodden ground in what is now Belgium, the Battle of Waterloo
brought an end to 23 years of almost continual war between revolutionary and later imperial France and her enemies. A decisive
defeat for Napoleon and a hard-won victory for the Allied armies of the Duke of Wellington and the Prussians led by the stalwart
Blücher, it brought about the French emperor's final exile to St Helena and cleared the way for Britain to become the dominant
world power. This history of the Battle of Waterloo details the campaign and the battle, its armies and their commanders,
and brings fresh insight to this epic conflict

In this major new history, Gordon Corrigan argues that what we call the Second World War was in fact two separate conflicts:
one against Germany (and, for a while, Italy) in Western Europe, Soviet Russia and North Africa; the other against Japan in
the Far East and Pacific. Each conflict had distinct causes and had to be fought in different ways against very different
enemies, who rarely, if ever, coordinated their efforts. This is a new and cogent account of an immense, exhausting six-year
conflict that continues to fascinate. Corrigan examines the agendas of the warring nations a
